True… and I ran it for a while but then disabled it because of some system dodginess that I couldn’t rule it out for causing…

One reason why Firefox has a much better security reputation than IE is that it doesn’t allow Active X – which the IE tab negates.

And what’s wrong with running a simple, platform non-dependant player like the Flash one in YouTube? Obviously, if Viacom – the parent company of both Comedy Central and iFilm – needs to hold Colbert and Stewart hostage to users using iFilm, it can’t be that good to start with… If they had a simple, functional player that worked regardless of the browser, people would have been using the site a lot more over the past 6 years.

If they claim it’s a DRM issue, that’s crap… I can isolate and download the FLVs from YouTube just as readily as I can from iFilm – if I could be shagged. YouTube made it so good and easy, there was little need to download a local copy if I wanted to see it at a rate not affected by internet traffic between here and the US and they provide the code to embed the content on any web site you want. THAT’s what I call a business model…
